Not terribly near Mt. Washington, but today I had to walk around my
parking area and pick up all the next door kid's toys and toss them
back towards their house! Winds? Naw, just a gentle breeze.

Can't blame the neighbors, they are new to the area and don't realzie
that a gentle winter's breeze is about 40 MPH or so, and that anything
not tied down (including the kids!) will blow eastwards!

If you want an experience, you can volunteer to work on top of Mt
Washington at the weather observatory in the winter. That one week
tour of duty will give new respect to the term "Winter Weather" (note
the caps!)

Yup, and a whole new meaning to term wind chill.

every time i have been on washington it has been blustery. in the winter if
they predict less than 70mph winds at the summit i consider it perfect
weather. over 100 is miserable, especially if the temps are less than 0
degrees farenheit.
